The MBC program 'Straight', airing at 8:30 p.m. on the 22nd, analyzes the conservative support among those in their 20s.

In the exit polls from the 21st presidential election, a noticeable division among voters was observed. Specifically, there was a stark difference in voting preferences between men and women in their 20s. Among all age groups, the candidate support gap between genders was the only one exceeding 20 percentage points. Over 74% of men in their 20s chose candidates with conservative leanings, while 64% of women in their 20s selected progressive candidates. Why did the overwhelming majority of men in their 20s choose conservative candidates in a situation where the public opinion for impeachment is predominant? 'Straight' directly listened to the stories of young people in their 20s.

This sentiment is commonly shared among many men in their 20s who feel they are being discriminated against. However, there are concerns that this perception may be based on a narrow or distorted interpretation of reality, with one study indicating that 33% of men in their 20s exhibit far-right tendencies. This article examines the risks posed by the far-right youth and the 'divide and conquer' politics that fuels and exploits their discontent.
